Sanzon, Classic Furmint, 2023

Sanzon is a small organic estate in the village of Erdobenye, in the heart of Hungary's Tokaj, owned by Erika Racz and Gergely Janosi. Most people know Tokaj for sweet wine, but Sanzon shows what the region's signature grape, Furmint, can do bone-dry. This Classic Furmint is the everyday bottling, a dry white with stone fruit and gentle texture braced by a backbone of juicy acidity and a grippy, mineral finish. It is the 2023, fresh and ready to drink, and a perfect low-stakes way into a region that deserves far more attention. Bright, savory, and genuinely distinctive.
